Based on a true story, this movie follows Natalee’s mother
Beth as she continues her search for the truth about what happened to her
daughter after she didn’t return from a school trip to Aruba in 2005.
Following both Beth and Joran – the main suspect in the disappearance
– this movie had split screens showing both parties at the same time and jumped
around from country to country and year to year making it difficult to follow.
With the case of Natalee’s disappearance still unsolved in
real life, the movie didn’t have an ending which allowed you to fully
understand what happened as no one actually knows, but it did show the
heartache any parent must face when they don’t know what happened to their
child as they don’t know whether to hold out hope or start to grieve.
While I understand this TV movie aimed to tell the story of
Natalee’s disappearance from her mother’s point of view and get her story
known, I was confused and bored throughout most of it - although it did make me
look up the real disappearance, which was probably the aim of the movie all
along.
